The problem is that he then picks the easiest point to address and
ignores the others. What we need is a `Slashdot interview' type of
rating of the questions to be asked. I am abstaining to send messages
to RMS about this issue, leaving others more knowledgeable have the
bandwidth.
I really liked Barak Pearlmutter's post. The fact that RMS won't
address it assures me that the situation will not change. We might as
well declare defeat for free software and move the manuals to non-free.
Strangely, RMS thinks most DDs will be against this. I hope he is
wrong.
